[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 545882, member: 250"] From Tuesdays swapping a CU job.... Long lead earth continuity testing to the metal faceplate of 2x switches both gave an open circuit reading... Opened up and what do we find.. A nice earthed plastic back-box, with a no-earthed faceplate!!! Made me wonder.. Is this the most common no-earth metal accessory fault? Or is it another common, cut the CPC's off in the back of a light fitting, (e.g. wall / downlight), problem? Or can someone else nominate another 'No-Earth' common fault, need to resolve problem??
